Journey to the West: The Demon Emperor

Chapter 279 The Touching Cake

At this moment, compared to Li Yang who had already known the news, Chi You indeed had mixed feelings in his heart.

After all, the Six Saints’ attitude towards the Witch Clan is not very friendly.

Because of their origins, the Three Pure Ones have been competing with the Twelve Ancestral Witches for the title of "Authentic Pangu" since ancient times.

Now, the Twelve Ancestral Witches have passed away, and the Three Pure Ones have all become unattainable saints.

If it weren't for the support of "Empress Pingxin", the Wu Clan would have been suppressed long ago.

Not to mention Nuwa, who was born into a demon clan.

In the decisive battle between wizards and liches, the wizard clan caused the death of this man's elder brother, Fuxi.

Although Fuxi was eventually reincarnated as a human and ascended the throne of "Emperor" of the human race, it could not erase the fact that he had died at the hands of the Wu clan.

As for the Two Saints of the West, although the Witch Clan has not had much contact with them, the Buddhist sect has been secretly contacting the new witches in the Witch Clan in recent days, trying to poach them.

Obviously, their attitude towards the witch clan is not friendly.

Before, the witch clan was able to barely gain a foothold in the Three Realms with the support of the two new witch ancestors Xing Tian and Chi You and "Empress Ping Xin".

But once the Six Saints return, the current situation will be difficult to maintain.

Thinking of this, Chi You had already vaguely agreed with the Great Heavenly Venerable's idea in his heart.

With Chi You's wisdom, he certainly understood the purpose of the Great Heavenly Venerable's invitation to him and Li Yang this time.

Compared with the survival of the Wu clan, Chi You was willing to temporarily put aside his past blood feud and agreed to join forces with the demon clan.

However, although he had agreed in his heart, Chi You did not show it.

First of all, he didn’t know what Li Yang, the demon emperor of the demon clan, was thinking.

Secondly, he also wanted to hear the Great Heavenly Venerable's thoughts first and see if he could get some benefits from him.

Compared with the wealthy "Heaven", the current witch clan seems somewhat pale in comparison.

At the same time, Li Yang, who was sitting opposite Chi You, had the same idea.

After all, on the surface, among the three forces present, the demon race was the least affected by the return of the Six Saints.

Because, among the six saints who returned, there was a saint from the demon clan.

Therefore, Li Yang was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but chose to wait and see if he could reap some benefits first.

At this moment, the Great Heavenly Venerable looked at the two silent people below and knew exactly what they were thinking.

But he didn't mind.

As long as you can achieve your goal, it is totally worth giving up some benefits.

Not to mention, it is not so easy for the witch and demon tribes to take advantage of the benefits he offered.

"I believe you two understand what the return of the Six Saints represents."

"Don't worry, as long as you are willing to stand on the side of Heaven, this emperor will not be stingy."

"As for the Wu Clan, the Heavenly Court will completely withdraw from Northern Juluzhou, and all the territories under its control will be given to the Wu Clan."

"At the same time, I also promise to send a large army to help the Wu Clan capture the entire Northern Julu Continent."

Hearing the promise of the Great Heavenly Venerable, Chi You couldn't help but be moved.

After all, being able to monopolize a continent would bring endless benefits to the Wu clan.

However, he did not speak immediately, but quietly cast his gaze towards Li Yang opposite him.

The reason for this is, of course, that a considerable portion of the current Northern Continent is still in the hands of the demon race. If, as the Great Celestial Venerable said, they were willing to help the witch race occupy the entire Northern Continent, it would obviously infringe on the interests of the demon race.

Of course, Li Yang is well aware of this.

Therefore, he also turned his attention to the Great Heavenly Venerable, wanting to see what conditions the other party could offer to make the demon clan give up their territory on Uttarakuru.

"Please rest assured, Demon Emperor. Since we are going to unite and work together to fight against foreign enemies, we will certainly not let the demon race suffer any loss."

"As long as the demon race is willing to give the land on Northern Juluzhou to the witch race, this emperor will fully support the demon emperor to ascend the throne of Ziwei emperor."

"At the same time, all the stars in the sky are handed over to the control of the demon race."

"I believe this will be enough to make up for the losses of the demon race!"

Hearing the conditions of the Great Heavenly Venerable, Li Yang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, somewhat surprised at the other party's generosity.

The value of one of the "Four Emperors" plus the stars in the sky is indeed far beyond the value of the Uttarakuru occupied by the demon clan, and it is also extremely tempting to the demon clan.

After all, the stars in the sky are the places occupied by demons and are the most suitable environment for demons to survive.

The number of demons has greatly decreased over the years. In addition to hunting by various parties, another important reason is that the "power of the stars" has been restricted, making it difficult for the demons to absorb enough "power of the stars" for practice.

It can be imagined that once the demon race regains control of the stars in the sky, its strength will immediately experience explosive growth.

It seems that the return of the Six Saints has indeed brought considerable pressure to the Great Celestial Venerable, and he is even willing to give up the stars in the sky.

However, when Li Yang thought about it, he understood the purpose of the Great Heavenly Venerable giving such preferential treatment to the witch and demon tribes.

As for the Wu Clan, they support them in taking over the entire Uttarakuru.

But you have to know that the forces in Uttarakuru now include more than just the three forces of witches, demons and heaven.

Even if the territories occupied by the Heavenly Court and the Demon Clan were given to the Witch Clan, if they wanted to occupy the entire Uttarakuru, they would definitely come into conflict with Buddhism and Taoism.

In this way, the witch clan will naturally be able to divert a considerable amount of energy from Buddhism and Taoism.

If the demon clan wants to obtain the stars in the sky and the throne of "Emperor Ziwei", they must also fight against the Chan and Jie sects.

However, even though Chi You and Li Yang both understood the Great Heavenly Venerable's plan at this moment, they had no intention of refusing at all.

After all, this was an open conspiracy!
Compared with the benefits gained, the slight risks are not worth mentioning at all.

"I will go to the netherworld immediately to meet with the Queen Pingxin. Please rest assured, Great Celestial Venerable, Chi You will do his best to persuade the Queen and obtain her consent."

Although he was extremely tempted, Chi You also understood that only "Empress Pingxin" was qualified to make the decision on such an important matter concerning the future of the Wu clan.

Moreover, Chi You also understood that the reason why the Great Heavenly Venerable was willing to support the Witch Clan even at the cost of confronting Buddhism and Taoism head-on was also for the sake of "Empress Pingxin".

"This emperor agrees to the conditions of the Great Heavenly Venerable!"

Compared to Chi You, Li Yang, as the demon king of the demon clan, can certainly make the decision on this matter alone without asking for anyone's opinion.

Moreover, Nuwa has not returned yet, so even if Li Yang wants to ask for her opinion, it is impossible.

"it is good!!!"

Seeing Li Yang agree so decisively, a smile appeared on the face of the Great Heavenly Venerable.

Then, he looked at Chi You again and said, "Then I will wait for the good news from Emperor Gou Chen."

The agreement was reached, and Li Yang and Chi You said goodbye to the Great Heavenly Venerable at the same time.

After all, although an agreement has basically been reached, it will take a lot of energy to actually implement it, so of course we need to make preparations as soon as possible.

The Great Heavenly Venerable also understood this and did not try to keep him.
